  Seriously. I’ve had an LG B7 for many years now and it’s amazing. The first time a pitch black scene came on and my room likewise went pitch black was something else. No going back from OLED after that.

  Practical Engineering did a good video on Beach Holes, applicable to Regular Holes as well: youtu.be/0kQXOTcEB_E

  Be careful. Holes collapse and dirt is heavy as fuck.

  You don’t explore morbid medical content enough.

  There is no top of the food chain, it’s a big circle, and bacteria and fungus are coming for dat ass.

  Why aren’t there volume marks on the graduated cylinder? That’s what makes it graduated, not the bottom stand piece.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Request] A good multiplayer mechwarrior-like game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hawken was dope as hell when it was running. It was a bit faster than Mechwarrior, no anime stuff. It looks like Hawken Reborn is an early access game on Steam, but I can’t vouch for it.

  It’s obviously a vintage shitpost

  I use an electric mower and do it early as fuck sometimes, like as soon as the sun comes up. Super quiet.

  ITT: people who didn’t read the article.

  Excel is still doing the calculations, not the AI. The AI is helping to write functions. You can easily spot check a couple examples then apply that same formula down the column. I don’t really see the issue.

  Of all the things to shove AI into, the first thing that came to my mind years back was Excel. It’s handy when I’m presented a spreadsheet of data at work and I just want to do something like “write a function to extract just the number from a column containing data formatted like LPF_PHASE_OF_CARE [PAF 304001]” because I just want to copy paste all the numbers somewhere. It’s trivial to verify it works correctly, I can examine the formula, and I don’t have to wade through numerous shitty Excel tutorial websites to try and teach myself something I’ll use once or twice a year.

  Nw Yok fairly close to how some accent around NYC pronounces it, I’m sure.

  Non-necrotizing, non-fatal. There’s waaaaay worse out there, and much more commonly found too.

  Pain sucks, no doubt about that, but you’ll survive and not lose a limb.

  What exactly are you guarding? I figure there’s a reason not many people live outside of that area depicted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have most people never seen a full starry night sky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just cities - there’s nearly no dark sky sites in all of Europe, and very few dark sky areas east of the Mississippi in the US.

  I didn’t see the Milky Way with my naked eye until driving through NE New Mexico in my late 20s.

  There’s the answer I was looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that, but outside of using aux heat, it seems like identical temp differentials would be identically efficient. The heat pump doesn’t use more energy to heat than cool, the heat pump uses more energy in winter due to a larger difference to overcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they use more energy in one direction versus another? This doesn’t really make sense to me. Heating and cooling is just swapping which element is the condenser and which element is the evaporator.

  I genuinely feel like you’re the one who’s trolling here. Goodbye

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was actually posted by the Owasso Police Department⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with this viewpoint completely, I just don’t see how strictly speaking this is racist. If I dare ask, I get accused of being a racist. No one will explain what is exactly racist about this to me, they just say, “how isn’t it racist” or downvote me. This shit is frustrating. The top comment is calling it racist and I really just don’t understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was actually posted by the Owasso Police Department⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Please point out to me what in the text that includes the picture makes this racist then. There is so little text there, I really cannot wrap my mind around how this is racist other than the depiction of a gang. I’m not arguing at all, I’m stating my observations and feelings. Can I not even be open with my potential ignorance over how this is racist, without being accused of being a racist?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was actually posted by the Owasso Police Department⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s South Park who’s racist, because they’re the ones who created that caricature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need a job you love, hardly anyone gets to do that. It’s amazing if you can, but a job you can tolerate is really all you need. Keep your eyes open for opportunities, take them if it feels right. Trust your instincts.

  Save some money. Having a bit of financial freedom can drastically help you with having flexibility to do different things, and you need to do lots of different things to figure out what you like.

  You will have to sacrifice comfort at some point and take some leaps into the unknown when the opportunity presents itself.

  Most of all, get out of your hometown. The single biggest influence I’ve seen on people turning out great or people getting stuck in their ways is experiencing different things. College can get you part way there, but travel and living away from your hometown, especially if you can swing something international for a while, can help you immensely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was actually posted by the Owasso Police Department⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re making a pun off a blood drive based on the gang The Bloods - who are a predominantly African American street gang.

  I don’t see the racism. “What up blud” is a common greeting and jumping people in happens in gangs, Blood or otherwise.

  In any of these “Nobody: “ memes you can crop that line and it changes very little. It’s a shit format imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like it was on purpose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy sucks ass and the mythology behind him is fucked. He was a nightmare neighbor who dumped his literal shit in an open creek and eventually went crazy and had visions from god to kill people. The only reason he didn’t is because of an effective evacuation.

  It’s kind of interesting that you say elevator music is soulless, not real art, etc. There are some genres of music that are based on elevator music, hold music, “Muzak” in general. It’s just as real as anything else, and people do seek it out.

  Pretty funny that the slang term “glowies” for feds was started by Terry Davis.
